Don't even know what to think right now.
Lightheaded, butterflies in my stomach, the whole 9 yards.

So, how long has he had these feelings for you?[:o)]
Seriously, I hope it's nothing you can't deal with.
You a female, cause thats how they talk and expect us to undestand all.
You need to add some more pictures and sayings to your sig line so we all have something to MORE to read while you have us hanging out reading a stupid post that means absolutely NOTHING TO US, and was a waste of time to even view! [;)]
SUBSTANCE in posting makes the world go round and makes some posts worthy of reading. Having posts crapped up with useless stuff that takes up half a page is really irritating.
Also irritating is posting useless crap just for the purpose of posting something[:(]. That is just my oppinion and if others think it is annoying speak your peace and maybe it will shake the trees a little.
Posting a small picture or saying in your purposeful postings will do the same thing and would be fine!. Of course you guys who do this can continue to do so and most likely will [:D]
BRING THE HEAT Bwa ha ha ha
Please realize i say this with LOVE and have no personal beef with you or others BUT

"Oh dear sweet Jesus in heaven, I don't know how this could have happened, but it's a life-changing, world-shaking, universe-altering event...
... but I won't say what it is!"
You too?
That must be going around. I just had a similar thing happen to me.
Couldn't believe my ears.
Earth shattering news!
Changed my whole perspective.
These indiscretions come on the heels of a long in-depth conversation wherein similar indiscretions were revealed and sorrow, remorse, and a rededication to home, hearth, and faith were spoken.
Short lived, that declaration, apparently.
She's a really good girl with a good heart, smart as a whip, who was brought up in a good home with loving parents (at least one loving parent,) but has made some really awful decisions that could destroy her and her family, I'm afraid.
It tears me apart because I'm close to her and her family and I know she deserves better, but she can't seem to break this cycle and keeps doing really stupid and destructive things. She's entrusted me with secrets I dare not divulge so I can't tell her family about anything so they can't intervene when they're the people best positioned to do so. It's a no-win situation.
When I told her the effect her revelations had on me (been sick about it all day) she blows it off as "no big deal" and accuses me of passing moral judgment on her when in point of fact I'm doing no such thing; I'm merely expressing my concerns over the potential long term ramifications to her and her family (I've already helped her brother with a divorce; not about to help her.)
To top it off, she's best friends with my wife and I'm worried about the influence she may be having on her, however indirect (The Wife is clueless about all this drama, and will remain so but nonetheless, attitudes and whatnot can be contagious.)
For the cherry on top, I can't help but feel a little responsible for this. I've not exactly been a good influence on her with my rather cavalier attitude towards a lot of things. She basically worships me (me and her brother are a lot older than her and she kind of grew up aspiring to our legend, which wasn't always positive, especially on my end) and while I'm not egotistical enough to think she did these things to impress me or to try and earn my approval, if someone you admires says or has done certain things, it can't help but color how you think about those same things and thoughts become actions, for better or worse.
As you can see, it's been quite a day.
Thanks for listening and any input is appreciated.
This entrusting-with-secrets thing is a common technique for defective individuals. It puts you under her thumb, as now she has power over you and can make you squirm anytime she feels like it. It's also a way of transferring her faults to you, both to make herself feel a lighter load and later, when it all falls apart, she can say well you knew but didn't do anything about it.
The people she's wronged need to know, and she probably could use some moral judgment imposed upon her. If there are no negative consequences for actions, she won't change.
To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.

I see this blowing up in your face. You are now keeping big secrets from your wife as well as other people in your life. You are dancing to the tune of a crazy woman who doesn't care or is too stupid to understand the bad place she is putting you in. She is coloring outside the lines and you are enabling her poor choices. Somebody in this fiasco needs to be an adult and I'd lay odds it won't be her that steps up to the plate. Good luck.
I really like you skicat.
I keep finding myself agreeing with you.
If you're using "indiscretion" in the way it's most often used and interpreted, then "really good girl with a good heart" doesn't quite apply. For that matter I'm having a hard time understanding how such a person "deserves better".

I agree completely.
She is a walking, talking destroyer of lives.
nemesisenforcer, I regret to say, your cavalier attitude will no doubt come back to bite you squarely in the *.
It's not her family you should be worrying about.
Don't allow the friend to say she came clean, and to let it drop. Not good enough. You don't know what was said.

keeping secrets from your wife will only destroy your relationship, share all this crap with her or you may be singing the divorce blues.

I agree, no secrets between you and your wife. Wife knows all.
If this girl expects you to keep this from your wife, she's got the wrong expectation.
